Hooligans in the lounge
Having to observe disgraceful behaviour in the Heathrow lounges today. CCR and GF seem to be filled by groups of greedy people raiding BA's champagne stocks. Apparently these people then intend to fly to Seoul. Shocking behaviour!

Can't anything be done about this? Limiting bubbly to one bottle per pax?

This experience has deeply distressed me. How many Avios compensation does BA owe me?

Less whinging more drinking pal.

And none. Some people don't appreciate free entertainment

Hello,

Is this a cynic post or are you serious?

I hope peace (and fizz) are restored by 16:30 this afternoon.

So that's why they hid the LPGS!

They knew they were coming!

Disgusting. I should report them to security. Can you tell the nationality of these miscreants from the look of them - I bet at least one is Canadian.

Certainly you should complain - I believe the tariff is 5000 miles. I hope your recover from the distress soon (By the way, has crouching to avoid the inevitable food fight cause whiplash?).

This is a well known gang of trouble makers, their leader is an intimidating Canadian, I believe.

I wonder if he was seen spending an inordinate amount of time inspecting the 'Cloud' in the entrance of the lounge complex.

Stiff Upper Lip required - and anyway, they'll be heading for the Gate in about 30 minutes. At which point the Lounge Staff will breathe a deep sigh of relief.
